Spring has sprung and it’s time to celebrate new life! And is there a better place to spend a family fun day than surrounded by beautiful gardens and wonderful animals? We didn’t think so! This Easter, get your bunny ears ready and hop your little ones down to the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo for the annual Easter Eggstravaganza!

This year, you can celebrate spring and join the fun from April 18 – 21, 2025, with new games and experiences for the ‘hoppiest’ of Easter celebrations! Every day of Easter Eggstravaganza will bring a host of wonderful, themed activities, including treats, of course! This is a FREE event for those who have purchased a daily admission ticket to the zoo.

Kids will be thrilled to find Treat Stations, where the zoo staff will give them a free treat. In an effort to be more sustainable and reduce waste, some of the candy will be free of packaging. There will be paper bags to collect candy and a fun candy bag decoration station. Be on the lookout for the animals receiving treats in the form of colourful, Easter-themed enrichment, too, with Wilder Moments, presented by Servus Credit Union.

You’ll also want to check out the new Easter Games and go on an Easter Safari to collect stamps. Be sure to stop by memorable Photo Ops. Oh yes, and don’t forget to check out the new Virtual Reality Experience located inside the ENMAX Conservatory! Whatever you do, it’s sure to be a day filled with spring-themed family fun.

All that hippity-hoppity fun can make you hungry, though. You can make the day even more special with an Easter-themed brunch at the Safari Lodge on Sunday or the Polar Bear Breakfast on Saturday. Enjoy Easter décor, a specialty menu, incredible desserts, and fun Easter crafts for the kids. Be sure to book your tickets ahead of time, because this is a popular addition to a fun family day!

Except for Easter brunch, all the activities at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo Easter Eggstravaganza are included with your daily admission or your membership. The best part? Your kiddo gets to have a whole lot of spring and Easter fun and enjoy seeing their favourite animals, all while supporting wildlife conservation!

It’s going to be an EGG-cellent time!
